Changing The Conversation To, "You're Saying, 'All Cops Are Bad' So You're A Hypocrite"

55. seems you're expanding on my post and putting words in my mouth

It is not a liberal value to accuse people of something they haven't done

It is a liberal value to stand against those that oppress others.

I am not a hypocrite. Show me anywhere I have said anything that is anything like you are saying.

To be in a community that is as tight as police forces are, there is no way that everyone in a department doesn't know what racism runs through it, that isn't more than aware of the racial profiling, that doesn't watch people of color pulled over for nothing and at a percentage higher than whites. I had more than a couple cops in my family and my father was a police commissioner. I have a fairly good idea what is known within a force from them, some friends who were also on different police forces, and I can read. A liberal would stand against the abuses.

Where is the outrage from ANY NYPD at the insane announcement from their union rep explaining that the choke hold that killed Eric Garner, wasn't a choke hold? Where are the NYPOs calling for the murderer's arrest that used an illegal choke hold, that we have all watched, to kill yet another black man? A liberal would be shouting for it.

When a group stands in protection of others in the group that have committed heinous acts, they are guilty of allowing those acts to continue. A liberal would be shouting for those in the same group to let the truth be known. To stop protecting those that harm, thereby allowing more harm to come to others.

A liberal would call for the conviction of people who "just followed orders" when those orders caused harm to innocent people.

Don't tell me what a liberal would do. I am a liberal and I blame those in the know that keep silent because they are guilty of allowing the atrocities, mainly against people of color, the mentally ill and the poor, to continue.
